What NetRexx can and should DO in version 5.xx

[ThSITC]

Hi There,

I am trying here to depict my GOOD and BAD experiences with NetRexx:

1.) When a NetRexx ARRAY (or an INDEXED STRING) is DEFINED:

.... Netrexx 5.xx shall accept referenies like ARRAY(i) instead of
ARRAY[i]    .... QUIETLY !!!

Detto dor INDEXED STRINGS, Please!

2.) It has been a BAD IDEA to implement INDEXED STRINGS in CLASS REXX
within the REXX Class :-(

Better would have been to allow NOTATIONS like:

      aStem = STEM ''

3.) I am now working ... Hence:

FULL STOP, for now.

Kindly, Thomas Schneider.

The REASON for this request is INTENTIONAL:

A NetRexx USER shall be able to see from the DECLARATION whether a REXX Variable is either
a simple Variable (with type Rexx) OR an indexed String !

Sorry, MFC, do Say That (Speaker #2)
Kindly, Thomas.
